Nobody could have imagined the future world that would find this funny and why

Just found the 12th one.

*sexually* assaulted, no less.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

I’ve not actively hated Rishi Sunak in a while, so the news he’s taken a job with Anthropic AI (aka the company I’m part of a mass lawsuit against for stealing our work to train their LLM) is actually kind of comforting.

All my comics have happy endings!

Here's a picture of Italy being more normal, for balance.

Whatever this is, I have no idea why they called it that, but I suppose it's what I've suffered from for the last several years.

An illustrator friend did a kid's book where one of the mums wore hijab. Not to make a point, just as part of a normal city school background. Took it to publisher and was asked to remove because it 'wasn't a book about inclusivity'

Ugh

I *really* want more reporting on this because the book was pretty heavily vetted by lawyers in advance of publication….

Is Google stuff glitching for anyone else? My Gmail and Google Translate both seem very unhappy

Perhaps the bbc will report on the green surge with the same enthusiasm with which they promoted farage?

...the fuck?

I basically think American culture ingrains a sense that xenophobic bullying as entertainment is their birthright And "nice" Americans haven't unlearned that as much as they think they have. And they're happy whenever they find a target they think they can't be called out over.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Once maybe we could all pretend we were broadly on a level but those days are clearly gone. Sitting in the imperial core laughing at the funny little ways of your subjects doesn't actually look different to us depending on whether or not you personally like the Emperor.

See, this is why I've had a total sense of humour bypass about Americans making any kind of joke about British politics, food, culture, looks, anything. Your president is dictating what laws we have, what statements we can make, what jobs individuals can hold. This isn't joshing between peers.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

This. No amount of "special advice" will fix the fact that some people CAN'T work, and it also won't fix the fact that flexible/part-time/WFH jobs that pay ok are like gold dust, and disabled folks who could work part-time/WFH under the right circumstances are at a disadvantage in applying for them.

I am in Italy and I swear to god I just saw an ad for St Francis. Just ... an ad for him. Get some St Francis of Assisi in your life, you know.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

rereading a novel from the 50s set in the 30s and i know this passage did not hit as hard when i first read it in the 90s as it does now
